Small procpect/occurrence of hydrothermal ore mineralization with cinnabar and native mercury. Dense stockwork of thin hydrothermal quartz-carbonate veinlets with cinnabar, native mercury and minor tetrahedrite-(Hg) is hosted in strongly folded, Paleozoic black phyllites. The richest concentrations of ore mineralization are developed at the contact of black phyllites and overlying porphyroides. Ore mineralization was mined by numerous shafts in Mediaeval times. Locality was again explored in 1955-1957 by two exploration adits. Only adit No. 1 (Upper adit) intersected mercury ore mineralization.
